Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

Mysterious paranormal activities surrounding the hamlet of Heystone
are serious enough for Reverend David "Durley" Hudson to
investigate the situation. Sinister creatures crawling out of the
shadows have been leaving havoc and death in their wake. In
contrast, a stern warning from an exorcism in a faraway land also
adds an evil ingredient, and links to a phenomenal being known as
the War Witch become apparent. After finding a long-hidden diary
containing a soldier's dark experience in the First World War,
Durley is shocked to the core. A secret in the diary leads to a
dilemma even Durley cannot comprehend, and it will be no easy task
for him to convince his sister Sarah to help him. But the only way
for him to unfold the truth is to enter the hellish world of the
War Witch. But her hell does not come alone.

Glamorgan's long and varied history has left layer upon layer of
visible remains. Castles range from remarkable earthworks to
magnificent structures such as Cardiff and Caerphilly. Impressive
remains of three little known abbeys, at Ewenny, Margam and Neath,
together with Llandaff Cathedral, testify to the wealth of the
church in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The landscaped
setting of Penrice Castle preserves a complete Georgian arcadia
while Cardiff Castle is the supreme example of an exotic Victorian
fantasy. Other major country houses, such as Ruperra and Wenvoe are
now evocative ruins. In dramatic contrast are the chapels and
workmen's institutes of the Valleys settlements and the landscape
of heavy industry. Pride of place is given to Swansea, once a
Regency resort, and Cardiff, coal metropolis. Their many fine
public buildings are covered, as are their array of churches,
chapels, arcades and solid suburban streets. A comprehensive
gazetteer of places, in which buildings are described with lively
and informed comment, is complemented by a detailed introduction
which explains the broader context and builds a complete picture of
the area's architectural identity. Glamorgan is the third volume in
the Pevsner Buildings of Wales series. Each work is illustrated
with numerous maps, plans and photographs, and concludes with Welsh
language and architectural glossaries and indexes of artists and
places.
Moving an archive, historical society, or rare book library may
occur only once in the career of a professional curator, archivist
or librarian. Not only is each situation unique, but collections
are irreplaceable and priceless. Moving Archives is a timely source
of useful information by eleven archivists who have recent
experience moving both collections and entire repositories. They
describe their physical and administrative situations, details of
their holdings, plans for their move, actual operations, successes,
failures, and lessons learned. Readers will enjoy the clear,
systematic, rational and sometimes humorous accounts of how these
professionals coped. Each archivist speaks in his or her own voice,
often with considerable individuality about what was intended, what
processes occurred, and what result, in terms of an organized
collection in a new location, finally emerged. Topics Include: -
Planning - Administrative coordination - Staffing (both contract
and institutional) - Security preservation - Transportation methods
- Boxing and shelving - Accidents and natural disasters You'll get
pertinent advice about: - How to plan for trouble - How to avoid
the well-meaning "assistance" of administrators and volunteers -
How to maintain control and good humor throughout.
Prof. Newman is considered one of the great chemical engineers of
his time. His reputation derives from his mastery of all phases of
the subject matter, his clarity of thought, and his ability to
reduce complex problems to their essential core elements. He is a
member of the National Academy of Engineering, Washington, DC, USA,
and has won numerous national awards including every award offered
by the Electrochemical Society, USA. His motto, as known by his
colleagues, is "do it right the first time." He has been teaching
undergraduate and graduate core subject courses at the University
of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), USA, since joining the
faculty in 1966. His method is to write out, in long form,
everything he expects to convey to his class on a subject on any
given day. He has maintained and updated his lecture notes from
notepad to computer throughout his career. This book is an exact
reproduction of those notes. This book demonstrates how to solve
the classic problems of fluid mechanics, starting with the
Navier-Stokes equation. It explains when it is appropriate to
simplify a problem by neglecting certain terms through proper
dimensional analysis. It covers concepts such as microscopic
interpretation of fluxes, multicomponent diffusion, entropy
production, nonnewtonian fluids, natural convection, turbulent
flow, and hydrodynamic stability. It amply arms any serious problem
solver with the tools to address any problem.
An expanded and fully revised edition of John Newman's classic
survey of the buildings of West Kent, first published in 1969. Here
is an extraordinary concentration of architecture of the first
rank, and an immense variety of landscape and townscape, from the
deep woods of the Weald to the shingles of Dungeness, the cathedral
city of Rochester with its Norman castle, and the remarkable
Georgian naval dockyard at Chatham. Domestic buildings of note
range from plentiful timber-framed hall houses to the Palladian
masterpiece of Mereworth Castle and the planned modernist village
of New Ash Green, as well as country houses on the grandest scale,
such as Cobham Hall and Knole. The parish churches can show rich
and memorable work of almost every period, especially the middle
ages and the Gothic Revival. This new edition includes detailed
explorations of many rewarding urban areas, and fresh perspectives
on such famous landmarks as Ightham Mote, Sissinghurst and Hever
Castle.
The exceptionally rich architecture of eastern Kent is covered by
this fully revised, updated, and expanded edition of John Newman's
classic survey, first published in 1969. This city of Canterbury is
the county's greatest treasure, and its glorious cathedral is the
first mature example of Gothic architecture in England. The
influence of Canterbury appears also in the remains of St
Augustine's 17th-century mission churches, and in sophisticated
Norman carved work at churches such as Barfrestone. Kent is also a
maritime county, and its coastal towns are excitingly diverse: the
royal stronghold of Dover with its mighty medieval castle; the
medieval port of Sandwich; and resorts large and small, from
genteel Folkestone to lively Margate, with its bold new art
gallery.

notepad to computer throughout his career. This book is an exact
reproduction of those notes. This book shows a clean and concise
way on how to use different analytical techniques to solve
equations of multiple forms that one is likely to encounter in most
engineering fields, especially chemical engineering. It provides
the framework for formulating and solving problems in mass
transport, fluid dynamics, reaction kinetics, and thermodynamics
through ordinary and partial differential equations. It includes
topics such as Laplace transforms, Legendre's equation, vector
calculus, Fourier transforms, similarity transforms, coordinate
transforms, conformal mapping, variational calculus, superposition
integrals, and hyperbolic equations. The simplicity of the
presentation instils confidence in the readers that they can solve
any problem they come across either analytically or
computationally.

This fully-illustrated guide to Shropshire treats each city, town,
and village in a detailed gazetteer and includes a variety of
helpful maps, plans, and indexes along with an illustrated
glossary. The book is an invaluable reference work on the appealing
and unspoiled county of Shropshire, where many historic towns,
including Shrewsbury and Ludlow, are especially plentiful in
Georgian and timber-framed buildings. Shropshire boasts the
Cistercian abbey of Buildwas and many important country houses,
including the 13th-century fortified mansions at Acton Burnell and
Stokesay; John Nash's Italianate villa at Cronkhill; and Norman
Shaw's splendid Late Victorian mansion at Adcote. Shropshire is
also home to numerous prehistoric hill-forts and the Roman town at
Wroxeter as well as Coalbrookdale's spectacular bridge, the first
in the world to be built of iron.
The unspoiled county of Shropshire is among the most appealing in
England for lovers of architecture. The county's many historic
towns, of which Shrewsbury and Ludlow are the largest, are
especially plentiful in Georgian and timber-framed buildings.
Shropshire's villages, intriguingly varied in plan and building
materials, reflect the diverse landscape of plains, hills and
moorland and the rich and complex underlying geology. The
Cistercian abbey of Buildwas is the finest of several notable
monastic ruins, and outstanding medieval parish churches and
castles are also numerous. Many of the country houses have a
central place in the story of English architecture: the fortified
mansions at Acton Burnell and Stokesay, thirteenth-century design
at its most sophisticated; the vigorous Baroque houses of John
Prince and Francis Smith; JohnNash's Italianate villa at Cronkhill,
looking like something in a Claude painting; Norman Shaw's splendid
Late Victorian mansion at Adcote. Shropshire is also unrivalled for
its early industrial remains, including the spectacular bridge at
Coalbrookdale, the first in the world to be built of iron. More
ancient cultures are represented by the numerous prehistoric
hill-forts and the celebrated Roman town at Wroxeter.
Each city, town or village is treated in a detailed gazetteer. A
general introduction provides a historical and artistic overview.
Numerous maps and plans, over a hundred new colour photographs,
full indexes and an illustrated glossary help to make this book
invaluable as both reference work and guide.
